Today’s Thought “Patient Trust” G. Ward

 

Isaiah 26:3, “The steadfast of mind You will keep in perfect peace, because he trusts in You.”

 

This Prophet, no different than others, was divinely inspired to record Heaven’s regard that lends more security than imposing factions, seemingly mightier. Altogether, it can be compared to “A Tale of Two Cities,” the strong city of God, versus, the city arrogantly governed by mankind (so temporal), representative of human pride and self-reliance. This assessment is an ongoing, unfortunate, timeless dilemma; in that, geography and era may be worlds apart, but mankind’s heart, apart from total surrender to Holy God, remains desperately wicked (Jer.17:9-10). Therefore, we who believe, choose to exist in the city of God; with great meditations of a proposed future hope, while knowing HIS holy script is with guarantee and the whole of mankind cannot determine whether there’s to be a next moment.

 

Father God, the word implicit, attaches itself to how we trust You. Without any doubt or reservation, we’ll adjourn to the Truth of Your Word, for all You offer cannot be thwarted and whereas every other plan is subject to change, we thank You for faithfulness. As we proclaim You as the Only King, may we intentionally speak of the two-city analogy to indicate there’s no need for You to change, for all given from Your throne is perfect, particularly as we look to the Author of our faith, Jesus, Amen.
